A snake plant requires little to no maintenance and is very easy to keep in check. It is important to trim it regularly and carefully. You can trim the overgrown or damaged leaves to control their height and wait for the new leaf to grow. You can pull the leaves off your snake plant roots if they are falling off. Then wait for the new leaf to grow. If you don't want to deal with pruning, snake plants don't like sunlight.
While you can keep your snake plants outside during summer, it is best to bring them inside in the winter before the temperature drops below 50 F or the frost has set in. Keep your snake plant out of direct sunlight and make sure it has drier soil. It will go dormant in winter and only need water once or twice per year. If you don't fertilize your serpent plant, it will most likely die.
You should use a pot that drains quickly, as snake plants can be aggressive. Don't use potting soil that is too wet, because this will cause the roots to rot. Plant your snake at the same depth that its mother. Plant the roots a bit deeper than the rim of the pot. Indirect sunlight is best for snake plants as they will wither or burn if they are exposed to direct sunlight. Keep them away from drafts because snake plants are sensitive to temperatures below 50°F.
You can water your snake plant easily. However, you should not spray the leaves too often with water. Watering too often can lead to root rot and other problems. Snake plants prefer soil that is slightly moist. In winter, you should water your plants only once per month. Do not overwater it as you will have dry, flaky leaves.
If your snake plant leaves seem to be drooping you may be giving them too much sun. If you notice that your snake plant is drooping, it's best to move it to a window with sufficient ventilation. The plant will compensate for the loss of light if it is moved to a windowsill. Place it in a well draining Terracotta pot. The drainage holes in terracotta pots are ideal for snake plants.
You need to keep in mind that snake plants need indirect light. They are tolerant of low light but will struggle under bright lights. It is also important to consider the location of your snake plant. A plant that gets bright light will need more water than one that is shaded. It is possible to water the plant sparingly in areas with less sunlight. Snake plants can survive for up to two months without needing water during winter.
It's easy to keep snake plants happy. You don't need to water your snake plants often, so long as you keep them well-hydrated. Snake plants can act as natural partitions and have good luck. They can also be used to add color to corners. Snake plants purify and enhance the air quality. They can also provide good energy.
